"Arthur Smith Signals Kenny Pickett as Steelers' Future QB"

In his first interview as Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith emphasized the importance of building a relationship with quarterback Kenny Pickett, while not mentioning Mason Rudolph. This suggests a presumption that Pickett will be the Week 1 starter, despite Coach Tomlin's statement about competition. The absence of Rudolph from the conversation raises questions about his future with the team, prompting suggestions for him to consider opportunities elsewhere.
